Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Lung Cancer Day is observed every year on August 1 to raise global awareness about lung cancer. Initiated in 2012 by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) along with several health organisations, the day is dedicated to highlighting the severity of lung cancer and promoting efforts in its prevention, early detection, and treatment. The 2025 theme, "Stronger Together: United for Lung Cancer Awareness," emphasises the power of collective action in combating the disease. The observance plays a crucial role in educating the public and encouraging policy change and research toward better outcomes for patients.
